when IRL autocorrects "in" to "on" 😅

if you want some extreme jank in your life, please consider checking out my smb3 100% speedrun on wednesday's "out of the box" on GDQ Hotfix! my good friend ateatree will be hosting as i beat all the levels...yes, ALL of them!!

starts at 7pm edt (that's 6pm cdt, 4pm pdt, 1am cheeken iirc)

they're the same price, so i went with the rescue dog. :)

her name is Mercy, and she should be moving in within the next few weeks! ❤️

will be taking a (hopefully) brief hiatus from streaming after tonight as i need to pack up "the studio" for a few weeks. getting flooring replaced in the condo, then as soon as that's done, i'll be looking to adopt a dog! with some luck, the first stream back will feature a new friend. :)

not entirely sure how this AI upscale got from A to B 🤣

turns out my brother still had this relic of the 2010s. going to see if it works and if so, i'm going to stream some (very) dumb games in january 😆

submitted my end-of-year report to the big (former) boss! hoping we can remain open for 2025 (and beyond) 🤞

and on the flipside, well...this is not how i expected this to look at the start of 2024. 'twas a year of big changes, i suppose, and i'm starting to feel like i belong again.

i have no idea how i even streamed 120 times this year with everything that happened between March and August...

huge thanks to everyone for the support!

ended up taking over 30 photos of the content of those sketch pads. not everything is dated, but most are between 1992 and 1995. i think there are some things from various art classes i took as a kid - mostly the pastel, charcoal, and pen stuff.

while searching for something in my closet, i stumbled across all these old sketch pads. guessing they're from 1993-1995 or so. depending on what's in them, i might share pics here and/or show on stream.

just started working on my first year-end presentation for the first franchise location of cleveland_tom Industries. hoping that my effort is good enough for the big guy! 🤞

i went searching through some old photos looking for something and was reminded i used to decorate my door at work for the holidays. 2014 (mario) / 2015 (charlie brown) / 2016 (rudolph). my office was in the 6th grade wing, and the students (and staff) seemed to enjoy it.
